Hey guys and gals, how many out there are using the auto drum for 223?
Just wondering which rifle charging die you are using, seeing as how the length of the 223 is the changeover point.
Thanks!

I’m curious as well had to use my 55 to meter powder last time I used the breech lock pro for it.... killed my speed doing it that way.

I don't load 223 and cannot recommend either :oops:
According to Lee either short or long will work.
If you try the long and it's too long, you can shorten it.
If you try the short and it's too short you're screwed.
That said, I think the short will work, because of the turret is thickness.
